Bill Belichick won’t be joining the NFC East

After failing to land an NFL head coaching job during last year’s hiring cycle, Bill Belichick is headed to the college football ranks. He’s the new head coach at the University of North Carolina, according to multiple reports.

Why is this news relevant to the Philadelphia Eagles? Well, there was thought that the Birds might hire him to replace Nick Sirianni after 2024. Thought that was rooted in the Eagles reportedly showing some interest in Belichick before the Eagles decided to retain Sirianni despite the team’s historic collapse at the end of 2023.
